Epic clusterpuff. 40 man raiding was epic awesome. The discipline required to complete a 40 man raid was the issue. The reason few guilds could accomplish something like that is that it requires an 'elite' group of 40 willing to coordinate and cooperate. When it is 8-16, it is much easier to work with because you spend less energy on babysitting. Not only that but the raid leader has to be ready to deal with 39 other players and getting the herd together. 39 people to lead is not easy unless you are that good, and the players are willing to put it all on the line for that one person.
